8.3 Re-commissioning after a standstill
• Follow the steps outlined for the initial start-up.
• Lubricate the conveyor chain before initial start-up and after longer downtimes,
then every 1,000 h, with Structovis GHD,
0 842 904 229.
9 Operation
CAUTION
Hot electric motor surfaces during operation!
Burns from touching hot surfaces over 65 °C
Install appropriate guards.
Let the unit cool down for at least 30 minutes before performing maintenance
and/or repair work.
9.1 Notes regarding operation
9.1.1 Wear
• Individual components are subject to unavoidable wear by their very nature.
Constructive measures and the selection of materials help ensure functional
reliability over the full service life. However, wear is also dependent on the
operating, maintenance and ambient conditions at the place of use (resistance,
contamination).
• Overloading the conveyor sections can cause the conveyor medium to malfunction
and lead to the premature breakdown of motors and gears.
• If pneumatically activated components are overloaded, it is not possible to
guarantee their function.
9.1.2
Measures to reduce wear
The following commonsense measures will reduce wear:
• Switch off the conveyor section when the system is not in use, e.g., during breaks,
at night and on weekends.
• Do not select a higher speed for the conveyor section than that required for the
corresponding function.
• Avoid contamination caused by abrasive media, reduce contamination by cleaning
on a regular basis.
9.1.3
Loading the workpiece pallet
The modular units are designed and tested under the assumption that the workpiece
pallets will not all have the same weight during one cycle on one conveyor section.
Workpiece pallets are both loaded and unloaded.
